WlNDOW-SASH AND SASH-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 539,206, dated May 14, 1895.

Application filed October 29, 1894. Serial No. 527,170; (No model.)

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ARTHUR JOHN WALK- EB, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and JOHN E. ALBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Newark, Essex county, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Sashes and Sash-Frames; and we do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a window sash, of suchconstruction that the portion containing the glass is hinged to the sash frame proper, and thus the cleaning of the window or its repairing is greatly facilitated.

The invention consists in the improved window sash and in the combination and arrangement of the various parts thereof substantially as will be hereinaftermore fully described and finally embodied in the clauses of the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of a portion of a window-frame containing our improved window-sash. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views of a certain locking device used in connection with the beading of the window-frame. Fig. 4 is an enlarged front elevation of one of the window-sashes. Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view on the line '2 z of Fig. 4.; Fig. 6, a view similar to Fig. 5, the inner frame being shown in a raised position, ready for being opened; Fig. 7, an enlarged sectional view on the line y y of Fig. 4, and. Fig. 8 is an enlarged front view of one of the hinges used for securing the inner sash-frame to the outer sash-frame.

In said drawings a represents the window frame and b the beading, which latter consists of four sections, each of which being hinged to the window frame as at o. By swinging said sections inward on their respective hinges, the sashes d can easily be withdrawn for the purpose of cleaning, re pairing, doc. To firmly secure the beading in its normal position its adjoining sections (see Figs. 2 and 3) are provided with a plate 11' having slot 6 and with a hook b respectively, said hook adapted to be engaged by the slotted plate 11'.

The window sash 01 consists of the outer framec and of the inner framef to which lat ter the glass g is secured. Said inner frame is hinged at one side asat k to theouter frame, while its opposite side is provided with an eye it adapted to be engaged by a hook c' pivotally secured to the said outer frame.

To make a substantial air and water tight joint, the side portions and the lower portion of. the outer frame are rabbeted as at m, in which rabbet the inner frame rests. The lower inner portion of the outer frame e is also provided with a tongue 6 adapted to be engaged by a corresponding groove f in the lower section of the inner frame. The upper section of the outer frame 6 does not project to allow the section at to be raised with the inner frame f when the latter is to be opened.

The eye it and hook '1; can be substituted by any other locking mechanism.

Having thus described'our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a window sash,the combination with the outer frame rabbeted' at its sides and bottom sections, of an inner frame arranged in said outerframe and provided at the under side of its bottom section with a longitudinally arranged groove, a tongue arranged longitudinally on the lower inner portion of the outer frame and adapted to be engaged by said groove, and hinges connecting the inner frame with the outer frame, each hinge consisting ranged around a pin that the section secured have hereunto set our hands this 24th dayot to the inner frame may be raised andlowered October, 1894.

with the latter a distance sufficient to clear ARTHUR JOHN XVALKER.

the tongue on the lower section of the outer JOHN E. ALBERT. 5' frame, all said parts, suhstantially as and for Witnesses:

the purposes described. ALFRED GARTNER,

In testimony that We claim the foregoing we ARTHUR H. THOMSON.
